Château de Laplaud stands in Oradour-sur-Glane (Haute-Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The Château de Laplaud stands in Oradour-sur-Glane, in the Haute-Vienne department. Its present main building dates from the late 18th century, raised by master carpenter Mathurin Brousseaud around remnants of a 17th century dwelling, with interior decoration added during the Restoration period. The estate now operates as a private venue for events and accommodation, which largely determines how and when the grounds can be approached.
What to know
- The château and its outbuildings are used for receptions, seminars and weekly rentals, and are not open as a public heritage site in the usual sense.
- A private enclosed car park and a grass car park for up to 500 people are available, including disabled parking and an access ramp.
- Only the south main facade, the central staircase and the timber-framed attic on a portico are listed as historic monuments, since 1995.
- Access to the building mainly happens through a private event or a stay, rather than through a standard sightseeing visit.
